Works over LTE and Wi-Fi

Video calling can be done through nearly every messaging or VoiP app out there, from Apple's FaceTime and Google Hangouts to Skype, Viber and even Facebook Messenger - but T-Mobile doesn't want you bothering with apps at all.

The Uncarrier is introducing T-Mobile Video Calls, which will let you make video calls to your friend or family straight from your contacts list.

Video calls can be made over LTE or Wi-Fi, and if it isn't a strong enough connection, T-Mobile will switch you back to a voice call.

Currently, you'll only be able to make video calls to other T-Mobile customers, but the Uncarrier says it is working on expanding the service.
